So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Plan For A Quality Interior Plantation Shutters For The Windows

By Jocelyn Davidson


If you want the interior of your house to have a nice blend and you have already placed in the right furniture and walls, what is left to consider are windows. Choosing the right type of window would be vital to get that classy feel for the overall look. With that reason, you would look for a few options.

To start with window treatments, you need to choose a versatile and inexpensive design. If you want to have a quality interior plantation shutters could provide you with that. They can blend easily in your room and can also be added when reselling the house.

There is a bit of difference with plantation shutters compared to others. The traditional style is basically smaller which are 1 and one fourth to 1 and seven eighth inches. This style is mostly known as the cafe shutters which covers only the bottom section and is narrower. You can have these if you want but are not that common in most stores and builders.

For the actual, they are about 3 and one half and 4 and one half inches. These are commonly found in the western area like California and Arizona. It was first introduced by the Spanish, and most of the southerners have huge plantation homes which is where it got the name. The versatility of these is what made them common and convenient for control in air and light to let inside the room.

Wood is primarily the best choice. When you add wood into an interior design, it gives you a natural feel while it also looks professional, calm, and classy. Using this as main material for the shutters would give you that experience. Although there are ways you can achieve the same with fauxwood if your budget does not fit with certain types of wood. Choosing metal as long as it is powder coated and finished, could be a great option for those that are tight with security.

For installation, take the measurements horizontally. Take the ones at the top of your windowsill towards the middle and bottom. Make sure to write down the largest measurements, then you can show this to the employees in your nearest home decor store while picking the right design.

There are different designs you can choose from. It can be half glass at the top and paneled on the bottom. There is also bi folding to either splitting at the center or to one side, depending on the structure of the room and its surroundings. Double hung fashion are two separate shutters at the top and bottom so you can individually control them.

Now to add the mount of the shutter on the interior and exterior of the window. It needs a wooden shim so that the panels can stay put properly. You need to drill holes for the screw about one eighth of an inch, but some of the mounts are already pre drilled so there is nothing to worry about.

If you already positioned them properly, you can now put the shutters. Make sure they are placed correctly and adjust them accordingly. You can start screwing them in place and after that you can cover the screws with a screw cover and hammering it lightly with a cloth above it. Lastly, you may add drapery or a fabric valance while making sure it still blends in with the room.
